Kelly + Jimmy is the hottest new singing duo, it's official. Last night on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy and Kelly Clarkson united to sing some incredible duets, in promotion of Kelly's new album, Piece by Piece.
Apparently, Kelly has been having a hard time finding someone to sing duets with her and Jimmy was more than willing to help out a friend. And thus "History of Duets", much like the famous "History of Rap" starring Justin Timberlake, was born. We think the future of duets now belongs to Kelly + Jimmy.
Watch Jimmy and Kelly sing some of the most popular duets in musical history:

Madonna is ageless. We know this. But apparently not everyone does. Claims surfaced recently that BBC Radio 1 had banned Madonna’s new single because they deemed the 56-year-old pop icon “not cool enough” for their young-skewing audience. The station denied these claims, but didn’t exactly agree to start playing “Living for Love” either. The ensuing uproar from Madonna fans – both young and old – proved just how relevant this fierce female still is. Ageism be damned! Here are some of our own reasons that prove she’s still got it.
1. Her 2015 Grammy performance.
GIPHY
She dressed as a sexy matador and tore up the stage with her dance moves while singing live. This generation can barely walk and talk on their cell phones at the same time.
2. Her fashion choices.
GIPHY
No, she will not dress conservatively, thankyouverymuch. She’ll flash her butt for the cameras at any time – and at any age – she wants.
3. She's ridiculously in shape.
GIPHY
And more limber than we’ll ever be.
4. She premiered her latest video on Snapchat.
ultimatemadonna.tumblr.com
And she was the first person to do that – ever.
5. She uses social media.
www.madonnaglam.com
And she uses it well. Her Instagram is all sexy selfies and throwbacks.
6. Young people still love her.
yourreactiongifs.tumblr.com
Just look at comments on any of her social media accounts.
7. She collaborates with some of the hottest stars out there.
GIPHY
We know she did songs with Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, and on her latest upcoming album she has song featuring Nicki Minaj.
8. Her isolated vocals are still on point.
GIPHY
A lot of iconic singers start losing their voice at some point (Mariah, we’re looking at you), but Madonna still sounds as good as ever.
9. She still speaks her mind.
monica-ciccone.tumblr.com
The years haven't dulled her sharp tongue. Madonna still takes her critics to task. Most recently she defended her use of the word "b*tch" in her songs.
10. She has a sense humor.
chatterbusy.blogspot.com
Remember the whole Lady Gaga thing?
11. Drake just wrote a song about her.
GIPHY
For the record, Madonna’s heard the song and loves it.
12. SHE knows she’s still got it.
GIPHY
And that’s all that matters.

Nickelback rocker Chad Kroeger has taken a swipe at Justin Bieber by insisting the reformed bad boy should be "ashamed" of his wild antics. Bieber has faced a string of legal woes in recent years, including a vandalism conviction for pelting a neighbour's house with eggs, and he recently apologised for his bad behaviour and swore he is a changed man as he attempts to revive his flagging music career.
Kroeger has now waded into the debate over Bieber's comeback, and insisted the Baby singer is the latest in a long line of former child stars who go off the rails.
He tells Australian radio station NXFM, "I think that he's going to look back at this time in his life and he's going be ashamed of the things that he's done, it's really too bad because he is talented and it's just a bit of a let down.
"You've got to be careful when you're handing someone that young the keys to the kingdom and when you give someone that young that much money... to do whatever you want to do, things are going to run amok and we're all going to get to stand back and watch the wheels fall off the train. I really wanted him to turn into kind of a Justin Timberlake; very funny, very caring, a really good person."

Sam Smith, Pharrell Williams, Taylor Swift and Beyonce are among the stars who have landed top nominations for the 2015 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. Grammy Award winners Smith and Williams will face off for the Favorite Male Singer prize, alongside Justin Timberlake, Nick Jonas, Bruno Mars and Blake Shelton, while Swift and Beyonce join Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry for the female honour.
Favorite Music Group will be a battle between the likes of Coldplay, Maroon 5 and One Direction.
The stars up for Favorite New Artist, which was among the early categories announced on Thursday (19Feb15), include Five Seconds of Summer, Iggy Azalea and Meghan Trainor, while Favorite Song of the Year features Jessie J, Grande and Minaj's Bang Bang competing against Trainor's All About That Bass, Swift's Shake It Off, Azalea's Fancy, Perry's Dark Horse and Problem by Grande and Azalea.
Meanwhile, in the Hollywood categories, Guardians of the Galaxy, Maleficent and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 are among those shortlisted for Favorite Movie, while Angelina Jolie, Emma Stone, Hugh Jackman and Mark Wahlberg are all up for best movie acting accolades, and Meryl Streep (Into the Woods), Cameron Diaz (Annie) and Jolie (Maleficent) are in the running for Favorite Villain.
The winners will be announced on 28 March (15), when Nick Jonas will host the 28th annual awards show in California.

Kurt Cobain's credit card will be the star lot at an auction of music memorabilia this month (Feb15). The online sale, entitled Legendary: Memorabilia from Rock Gods & Pop Stars, will feature an array of unique possessions from stars through the ages.
Cobain's credit card is expected to fetch up to $9,000 (£5,600), while Frank Sinatra's 1944 driving licence has an estimated sale price of $10,000 (£6,200).
Also up for auction is a collection of rare photographs of stars including The Beatles, Jim Morrison, Bruce Springsteen, The Who, and Jimi Hendrix, as well as a Mickey Mouse Club T-shirt signed by the show's famous alumni including Ryan Gosling, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears.
Internet auction site Paddle8.com is hosting the sale, which closes on 26 February (15).

The members of 'N Sync have clarified reports suggesting they were planning a reunion on the Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary TV special in America on Sunday (15Feb15), revealing they simply regrouped behind the scenes. A tweet from the band's official account left fans believing there would be a major get together in New York as part of the show, and when Justin Timberlake opened the special with Jimmy Fallon, devotees were convinced there would be a big moment ahead.
But the reunion wasn't part of the three-and-a-half hour show, and neither was a performance from the group's boy band rivals the Backstreet Boys, which was also rumoured.
Many missed Lance Bass' tweet just before the special, when he made it clear he and his former bandmates would all be at the SNL TV special, but not on stage.
He wrote, "For the record , we are not performing or doing a skit tonight on SNL. But look hard for us in the audience! Fun night ahead!"
Indeed, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick posed for photographs together and Kirkpatrick posted a selfie featuring himself, Fatone and Backstreet Boys stars Howie Dorough and A.J. McLean on social media, alongside the caption, "The boys are back in town!"
Bass was also spotted on the red carpet, posing with former SNL cast member Cheri Oteri.
Fatone told U.S. news show Access Hollywood, "Here's the reality of it, to be honest. Justin's here. We were all supposed to be here, but actually with the weather and everything else, JC (Chasez) could not be here. There was no performance (planned)."
In fact, the U.S. flight cancellations that brought large parts of the east coast to a standstill over the weekend almost wrecked any 'N Sync get together in New York.
Fatone explained, "My flight got cancelled on Saturday night and I had to come in on Sunday."
And Kirkpatrick added, "It's freezing up here right now. Floridians don't understand this... We lost our luggage. I freaked out."

Taylor Swift and Sir Paul McCartney formed an unlikely duo on Sunday (15Feb15) as they jammed together at the Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Show afterparty in New York City. The star-studded comedy show featured former SNL regulars Dan Aykroyd, Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey and Will Ferrell performing in sketches alongside the likes of Justin Timberlake, Tom Hanks, Ed Norton, Jim Carrey, Emma Stone, Chris Rock, Melissa McCarthy, Alec Baldwin, Bradley Cooper, Kerry Washington, Swift and Betty White, with music provided by McCartney, Paul Simon, Miley Cyrus and Kanye West.
The whole group continued the celebrations after the U.S. broadcast of the three-and-a-half hour show on Sunday by heading to the Plaza Hotel to party.
Fallon took charge of the bash and kicked off the afterparty with Aykroyd reprising his Blues Brothers character with the funnyman, while McCartney and Swift sang and played guitar. The musicians then took centre stage for a cover of Swift's pop hit Shake It Off, before performing a rendition of the Beatles' I Saw Her Standing There.
Fallon also recruited Michael Bolton, Cyrus and Ariana Grande for subsequent sets, with the Problem hitmaker teaming up with Blondie rocker Debbie Harry to sing back up for The Tonight Show host.
However, the biggest surprise came at the end of the night, when Prince made an unannounced appearance at the party, hitting the stage with comedienne and superfan Maya Rudolph, who had shown off her impression of Beyonce during the SNL 40 show.
Ironically, Beyonce herself was in attendance at the afterparty, alongside her husband Jay Z and actor Leonardo DiCaprio.

Justin Timberlake teamed up with comedy pal Jimmy Fallon to launch the star-studded Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary special on U.S. TV on Sunday (15Feb15). Former SNL regular Dan Aykroyd urged viewers to "stay tuned" for the three-and-a-half hour show during the red carpet pre-show, insisting, "You're never gonna see TV like this again", and he wasn't wrong.
Timberlake kicked off the proceedings by interrupting his pal Fallon's opening song-and-dance number to join him for a rap number, referencing some of the show's most famous catchphrases and skits.
The two pals closed their i with a song-and-dance number, in which they named SNL's most famous comedians.
Sir Paul McCartney and Paul Simon then teamed up during a second monologue, during which Steve Martin fought to convince the starry audience that he was the best host - over Tom Hanks, Alec Baldwin, Melissa McCarthy, Chris Rock and Miley Cyrus.
In among the medley of historical skits, dotted throughout the special, there were also updates of classic sketches, including a celebrity Jeopardy gameshow, featuring Jim Carrey as Matthew McConaughey, an updated Wayne's World, and spoof soap The Californians with Bradley Cooper as a pool boy, Kerry Washington as a doctor and Taylor Swift as a hippie actress, which ended with Cooper smooching Betty White.
Other highlights included Keith Richards introducing McCartney's rendition of Maybe I'm Amazed, Edward Norton, Melissa McCarthy and Emma Stone impersonating their favourite SNL characters, and Miley Cyrus covering Simon's 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.
The oddest moment came when rapper Kanye West performed his hit Jesus Walks while lying on the floor, beneath an illuminated white sheet. West eventually stood and sang his new song Only One.
Star guests also included Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson, Jerry Seinfeld, James Franco and Michael Douglas and former SNL regulars Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, Chevy Chase, Will Ferrell and Bill Murray.
The marathon special ended with a performance from Paul Simon, but there was no 'N Sync reunion, as had been rumoured earlier in the day.

Boy band 'N Sync have reunited for U.S. comedy show Saturday Night Live's 40th Anniversary special. Justin Timberlake, who has become one of the sketch show's most frequent guest hosts in recent years, will return to the SNL world with his former bandmates when the special airs on Sunday night (15Feb15).
The group made the announcement via Twitter.com on Saturday (14Feb15), telling fans, "Together again... Gee, it's good to be together again" #SNL40."
However, bandmember Lance Bass took to Twitter.com hours before the live event to clarify they will not be taking the stage for the milestone telecast.
He wrote, "He wrote, "For the record , we are not performing or doing a skit tonight on SNL. But look hard for us in he audience! Fun night ahead!"
'N Sync's one-time chart rivals the Backstreet Boys will also be present for the show, alongside former SNL regulars Eddie Murphy, Tina Fey, Chris Rock and Will Ferrell and special guests like Paul McCartney, Jack Nicholson, Kanye West, Paul Simon, Taylor Swift and Jim Carrey.

In honor of the show’s 40th anniversary, we’re taking a look back at some of our favorite Saturday Night Live hosts of all time. Whether they’ve hosted a whopping 16 times (Alec Baldwin) or inexplicably only hosted once (Neil Patrick Harris), they’ve kept us watching over the years. Because when SNL gets the host right, it’s a fun Saturday night.
Justin Timberlake
GIPHY
GIPHY
Justin has hosted five times, officially placing him in the five-timers clubs of SNL hosts. He’s almost like an alternate cast member at this point. And it’s no wonder, he’s participated in some of the most memorable sketches the show has seen in the past 10 years. D*ck in a box, anyone?
Alec Baldwin
ultimatemoviefanatic.tumblr.com
He’s hosted the most times out of anyone in SNL history. That’s saying something. His first appearance was in 1990 and his most recent one was in 2011. We think he’s due for another.
Jon Hamm
ineverbetthefettman.tumblr.com
We love that Jon Hamm is undercover funny. If you watched him as the tortured Don Draper on Mad Men, you’d never know he had a hidden funny bone. Thank God for SNL. Sketches like “Jon Hamm’s John Ham” and his role as Sergio the sexy saxophonist were all we hoped for and more.
Andrew Garfield
GIPHY
To be honest, we didn’t think Andrew Garfield could be funny. But his spot on Justin Timberlake impersonation proved us wrong.
Anna Kendrick
GIPHY
This girl was a natural. Her comedic timing was spot on and she played a fantastic pop song-singing Ariel.
Neil Patrick Harris
fallingforthemboys.tumblr.com
He literally hosts everything else (the Tonys, the Emmys, and now the Oscars), so we’re a little surprised that he’s only hosted SNL once. Hopefully when he’s done hosting every other awards show known to man, he can come back and do some more hilarious sketches.
Drew Barrymore
feynificent.tumblr.com
Ok, we have to give it up for Drew Barrymore because she was the youngest host of SNL ever. She first hosted the show when she was 7 years old! She’s hosted it five other times since.
Tina Fey
vfarmigas.tumblr.com
We always love when former cast members come back to host, because you know it'll be good. Tina Fey was no exception. Her spoof of Girls just reminded us how much we miss her SNL contributions.
Christopher Walken
moderndaybard98.tumblr.com
You know what SNL needs? More cowbell! Also, more Christopher Walken.
Ben Affleck
orvilleiv.tumblr.com
Ben Affleck is also a five-timer, so you know he must be doing something right. His most recent appearance was in 2013, and his wife Jennifer Garner made a cameo during his monologue.

Summary

Grammy-winning recording artist and actor Justin Timberlake more or less grew up in the spotlight. Making his screen debut before he was even old enough to shave, Timberlake was a cast member of the early 1990s revamp of "The Mickey Mouse Club" (The Disney Channel, 1989-1994). From there, he gained international fame as Britney Spears' boyfriend and the front man for the phenomenally popular boy band N'Sync with hit songs like "It's Gonna Be Me" and "Girlfriend," before striking out on his own in the early 2000s. Timberlake quickly established credibility as a solo artist, eclipsing his 'NSync colleagues with the multi-platinum albums <i>Justified</i> (2002) and <i>Future Sex/Love Sounds</i> (2006). After securing his position as one of the modern music's most reliable artists, Timberlake sought to tackle Hollywood with roles in indie features like "Alpha Dog" (2006) and "Black Snake Moan" (2006), before stepping up to voice roles in "Shrek the Third" (2007) and "Shrek Forever After" (2010). He earned laughs for a stint of hosting duties on "Saturday Night Live' (NBC, 1975- ), which included a hilarious digital video song with Andy Samberg called "D--k in a Box," which went on to become one of the most viewed on YouTube. Meanwhile, Timberlake received critical praise for his part in the Oscar-baiting drama, "The Social Network" (2010), before turning in a charming lead performance in the romantic comedy "Friends With Benefits" (2011), all proving that he had far more depth and range than most had anticipated from the former head of a '90s boy band.

Notes

"You hope somebody sees it that may think about you for a TV series or a feature film. I'm just excited to do anything. Pimp me!" – Timberlake on hit TV-movie acting debut on "Model Behavior", quoted in Entertainment Weekly, March 10, 2000

"Justin's really focused. He clearly has spent a lot of time with the script and rehearsed it. That's probably why he's so successful in the music world, because he takes his job really seriously." – executive producer Mike Karz, praising Timberlake's work ethic in TV Guide, March 11, 2000

"We don't want it to be '*NSYNC World' like the Spice Girls. We don't want to play ourselves. That's just cheesy." – Timberlake on the pending *NSYNC film project to People, March 13, 2000

"The thing is, we kind of halfway produce and direct every time we do something. Usually it's our concepts that are used for the videos. That's like everything else that that we do. We direct our music. We help direct our videos. We're heavily involved in everything we do, so maybe one day we'll just get enough money where we can just blow it all and direct our own video." – Timberlake on who steers the band creatively to MTVNEWS.com, June 1, 2000

"It's a liberating thing to walk out onstage and see people your age and up, and they're not screaming just because you're standing there, they're screaming because you did something to impress them. They don't put your poster on their wall, they just like your record." – Timberlake to Rolling Stone, December 2003

"I think some of the same people who say I wouldn't get as much attention if I was a black artist are probably the same people who said I copy everything Michael Jackson did. Do you think it's a safe assumption to say there's a lot of artists that in some shape or form steal from Michael?" – Timberlake quoted to GQ, September 2004

"I was never pushed by my parents. It was always like, 'I want to do this.' I didn't know where it was gonna go. Still don't. I just loved it." – Timberlake on pursing his career, to GQ, August 2006

"I didn't want to be 'that guy from the Boy Band.' I didn't want to be that guy who was just, like, famous for being famous. I didn't want to be the guy who dates girls in the tabloids. That's why the [first] album was such a big deal for me. I had to fight harder for my respect, for my credibility." – Timberlake on his career, to GQ, August 2006

"I tried so hard to be an R&B artist and it was the pop album of the year. That's the last thing I wanted. But I was like, `So everyone considers me a pop artist? I'm going to do whatever I want to do.'" – Timberlake on his debut solo album Justified, to Details magazine, April 2007

Timberlake invested an undisclosed amount in the new music-focused MySpace that was sold to Specific Media, a digital media company, on June 29, 2011 for $35 million.

Timberlake and Ryan Gosling lived together for six months when they were about 10, while they were on "The All New Mickey Mouse Club" (Disney Channel). Since Gosling's mother had to keep her job in Canada, Timberlake's mother became his temporary guardian.
